Our erstwhile technical director has upgraded the CIP Sitemaker™ (CIPS) calendar editing tool. Administrators of CIPS sites (SAs) can now easily add on-time and recurring events to their calendars, either from the public view or the editing view.

The editor can also control how many options are available to users. For example, the editor can already decide whether visitors can add events, and if so whether they require approval before they are displayed.

As the CIPS member management system is extended to all the tools (it now works only for blogs), SAs will be able to apply various permissions to the calendar and even to individual events. So a whole calendar or individual events might be public or private in the SA's discretion.

Very cool.
